Abstract

Rat ventral prostate nucleoli contain protein phosphokinase(s) which have distinctly different characteristics from protein phosphokinase(s) localized in the extra-nucleolar regions of the nucleus. The differences pertain to pH vs activity profiles and activation by divalent cations, utilizing dephospho-phosvitin as substrate. Lysine-rich and arginine-rich F3 histones are also phosphorylated by nucleolar protein phosphokinase(s). Phosphorylation of histones by either nucleolar or extra-nucleolar fractions was not stimulated by cAMP, whereas that of phosvitin was slightly inhibited.
